Pros:Exceptional lightness and compactness, discretion (long focal length without being noticed), pleasant color rendering
Cons:typical problems of retro-reflectors: impossibility of diaphragm, manual focus, ubiquitous micro-mover with consequent need for tripod or very high times and therefore high iso, low general optical yield (sharpness and donut bokeh)
Opinion:I've tried it before, the Samyang 500 f 6.3 because I love the blurry detail and the strong detachment between the focal planes - good optical yield (x the type), but too voluminous and with maf ring running too short x ensure the millimeter maf that these optics require - the Tokina is doing slightly better optically - it is definitely + compact and of good workmanship - the maf ring has the right stroke, but we're still not there -- too fluid -- if you mount a PLC, as you rotate it, the maf moves, if you adjust the maf .... moves the PLC ( a nightmare, they could put a block or make it + clutch - the Samyang 85 f 1.4 or the kamlan 50 f 1.1 do not have this problem ... and cost less) - between the merits, the minimum maf at 1.15 meters (which can be reduced with extension tubes) and the M42 attachment that allows full adaptability on my Canon 1d/ m6 old/ RP - in practical use, the greatest difficulty is in managing the very small PDC, in particular (of course), at distances + short (f 8 helps, but not much) - tried in close-up with tubes, if you do not have collaborative subjects it is very difficult to bring the shot home - with static subjects ... it is only a matter of habit of manual maf - the price: the quality of an MF optics is established mainly by the optical yield and precision of the maf ring - in this case, the optical yield is acceptable but the maf no ring - with 260 € today, take vintage Zeiss of much higher quality, but so much so ... I love the bubble blurry - Sic!!!
Pros:Excellent construction, solid and well cared for. Handy and, compatible with the nature of optics, with good resolution and color rendering. Well-clutched and precise focus ring.
Cons:Nothing, given the nature of the goal. The view is understandably a little dark, as expected from a fire 8.
Opinion:After i read Madrano's review, as it was a while since I wanted a mirror, I took it and I'm satisfied. The construction is very beautiful, solid and precise. It is very handy and the focus, with the help of focus peaking, is easy and reasonably precise. I tried it on the X-T4 and X-E4 and the yield is satisfactory for the type and price of the lens. I could not, due to Covid and Milan in red, resume street scenes, only real estate in my street. At 450 meters, 1,000 and about 2,000 you can see the details well (well). With two shots of Photoshop you draw acceptable images, certainly commensurate with the price and type of lens. On APS-C it is equivalent to a 600 on the FF. Place some untouched photos and the same with a slight swipe in Photoshop. As soon as I finish the lockdown I immediately try the road, to catch some cute shots. P.S. : I added a photo of my way to make the photos of the Tokina better understood.

Pros:Robust, lightweight and very compact construction, smooth focus ring just enough. Nice to see as much as this can count. Price (244 euros)
Cons:The attachment for the micro 4/3 makes it a little less compact than the attachment for other brands.
Opinion:I was surprised by the quality of the construction and the optical quality of course in relation to the price is the fact that it is a reflective. Needless to ask for miracles but with good light he also gets away with freehand and with a tripod you get excellent results and even in macro it is not bad with the particular blurry effect. Better of course static objects. In my profile there are two freehand photos
